Draft Alternatives to Address Additional Community FeedbackMETRO Board of Directors - January, 2015

System Reimagining Plan*Plan Alternatives

Revised Plan withIncreased Operating Budget

Revised Plan withOffsetting Service Cuts

Additional Cost of Changes $0$6.4 million

(Includes $0.6 million for fourth weekend BOF)$0

(Northeast service increases offset by cuts elsewhere)

Changes to Achieve Target Budget• Potential frequency and route adjustments based on outcome of

scheduling• Potential frequency and route adjustments based on outcome

of scheduling

• Deferral of new coverage (Kirkwood, W Little York extension, Katy Freeway)

• Sunday frequency reductions on 19 frequent routes (20 - 24 min.)• Frequency reductions within route category on at least four routes• Frequency reduction of two frequent routes to blue (Tidwell,

Renwick San Felipe West Gray)• Consolidation of peak express services in SW Corridor• Potential additional frequency adjustments based on outcome of

scheduling

Addresses Community Feedback

• Incorporates feedback from over 1,100 comments where consistent with Reimagining goals

• Recommended changes presented at August Board meeting

Addresses additional feedback from Northeast and Aldine communities:• Direct Downtown service from more areas and Transit Centers

• Better access to major hospitals from more places• Better connection from Jensen route to IAH

• No flex service

Estimated Ridership Impact(% local ridership**)

No Change(Est. increase in ridership: 11 million boardings)

20% Ridership Growth

1.1 million more boardings per year than Scenario 1 (+2.0%)22% Ridership Growth

1.8 million fewer boardings per year than Scenario 1 (-3.3%)17% Ridership Growth

Add-ons for Enhanced Span of Service on Coverage Routes Systemwide

Late evening boardings + alightings outside 1/2 mile of late evening service

Targeted span additions to preserve late-night coverage

$3.3 million $2.9 million

Remaining boardings + alightings outside 1/2 mile of late evening service

(none outside 1 mile) 140 140

Est. ridership impact if budget neutral 900,000 fewer boardings per year (-1.6%) 800,000 fewer boardings per year (-1.5%)

Full matching of existing spans $5.0 million $4.6 million

Remaining boardings + alightings outside 1/2 mile of late evening service

Est. ridership impact if budget neutral 1.4 million fewer boardings per year (-2.5%) 1.3 million fewer boardings per year (-2.4%)

* Approved in principle by METRO Board of Directors in September. Estimated to drive 20+% ridership increase within 2 years of implementation.** Percent of 55 million current annual local bus boardings.† Assumes no operating budget increase; additonal ridership growth can still be achieved by increasing operating budget initially or in future years through additional investment to achieve key components of System Reimagining Plan such as expansion of the Frequent Network Grid.
